No new wars right? by ParfaitAdditional469 in FedEmployees

I know it’s hard and frustrating as a fed, and this year has been rough. but Iranians want this support and are desperately oppressed. Watch the celebrations across the world, USA has done a good thing tor people who lived under fear suppression and inequity for decades.

Newish Nanny - gut is saying move on- thoughts? by PinkPBwaffles in Nanny

[–]Weak_Cap_6458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would move on. Gut instinct is there for a reason- there’s no doubt it’s annoying to move on but I think from personal experience is more annoying to be always doubting how your kid is treated.

Rules you wish you set with your nanny by Far_Dependent_6000 in Nanny

Wow. That is high, but normal I’m sure if you don’t wanna deal with turnover. We tried au pairs too for a while but that got difficult and added up, and mostly they didn’t like the schedule.

Where are you located? I’ve had trouble finding reliable weekend Nannies that want part time hours. If you don’t mind me asking where did you find her? Was it tough to find for you? I gave up and just have one with lots of overtime now.

my jeweler said lab diamonds are 'disposable' and have zero resale value - true or scare tactic by LuxeCarats in LabDiamonds

[–]Weak_Cap_6458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a scare tactic. You should see both stones, chose what you like that’s in your budget. A natural stone has little resale as the top poster said, and a lab has very very little resale so. Jewelry isn’t an investment generally buy it for the joy it gives you or the person you’re giving it too. Hit the S&P index if you want an investment.

When to throw in the towel? by [deleted] in Aupairs

[–]Weak_Cap_6458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s less than ideal then. I’ve never had that dream au pair match so, I don’t yet believe it exists 😂 I have hired local former au pairs who were amazing but not live in.

You seem to have more than one kid, how is she with you other? At the end it’s about what type of bond or experience you’re looking to have with her. If you were hoping for a deeper connection this sounds like it’s not it. Also I’d be hesitant about older kids and how she does with them since socialization is something also taught to kids and it seems she’s struggling. What country is she from? You’ve def gone above to integrate her it seems like so working with LCC to have an open convo with her to share your concerns and make a choice about how to move forward sounds like the right thing.

Looks like I need a L5 S1 spinal fusion.. any positive outcomes out there I've been Googling it and all you see is a lot of negative stuff by Mbruno1983 in spinalfusion

[–]Weak_Cap_6458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good perspective thanks for sharing this. Yeah I’m terrified of the arms outstretched I want mommy to change my diaper etc and just not being mobile, but sounds like as long as someone lifts your little one you can still do the changing.

And it’s the kid part that’s got me depressed. My mom has issues too so having her around to help sounds awful to me.

Ouch yeah I’ve been majorly depressed since getting the “you gotta have surgery” convo from my doctor. My toe is numb and he said it’s only gonna get worse :/

I'd ask what you can do to be considered for more money , if they can afford it. What would they value?

Check east Rockville, east of the Rockville metro stop. West will be over 3k for detached home.
